I have been talking to quite a few marketers out there lately. There are certainly a lot of them out there. I'm one of "them" too. Meeting with people like myself got me thinking...
First, how am I different? I love talking internet marketing, social media, sales and on and on and on. So do a lot of others out there.
Next, what makes a marketer a marketer? I think I answered both questions by re-reading my last blog post about being genuine.
Of all the hundreds of self-proclaimed marketers out there, what it seems to come down to is the pudding. The old saying, the proof is in the pudding really applies. I've worked for companies and people in the past who say they are marketers, but really don't have a process or practical experience to back it up. Sometimes self proclaimed marketers talk to talk, but really can't back their words up.
So to me, what sets marketers apart is the ability to apply hands-on experience and convert it to real results for customers. So by being true to yourself and the knowledge accumulated through experience, you will be the best marketer to your customers and your company.
So anyone seeking help with marketing needs to ask the question...show me the pudding!
